$1,069 per resident in 2022, close to the middle of similar cities
Yukon’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($1,069 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 38 Oklahoma cities of 25,000–49,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $1,036, and the middle half spent $943–$1,248. Yukon spent more than 58% of them.
Includes sewer and trash ($2.9 million), as the Census Bureau counts them. Later years come from a Census sample, so the comparison stays on 2022. How Town Hall compares budgets →

Day-to-day spending is down 100% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Yukon reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

full-time in March 2025, up from 228 in 2022.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

Yukon Public Schools
Yukon’s K–12 school district. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
